intellisense extending off screen
|
|
|
| Intellisense extends off the top or bottom of my screen frequently with
it's screen of properties, methods, etc. Using the down arrow key I can
tell there are more down items there because the little description in
the yellow box to the right of the selected item continues to change but
it's off the bottom of the screen and a bit annoying. Anyone had this
problem?

| Doesn't happen for me. When I'm near the bottom of the screen, the popups
relocate to above the line I'm typing on.
Sounds like a video driver issue to me.

| VB.nets intellisense doesn't have that problem. VFP does choose above
or below the line I'm typing on depending on whether I'm at the bottom
or top of the screen. But most of the time the list is too long and
extends off the screen--top or bottom.
Maybe someone else will have had this problem and have a tip on solving
it. Thanks for the input.

Not me either
[color=darkred]
To me too.
I see a listbox with maximum 15 items and a scrollbar, if there are more
than 15 items. That listbox is always positioned to fully fit in the screen.
Even if I translate the command window to the lower right, the listbox
will be shown left of it's normal position to not be cut off to the right.
And it pops up above the line I type.
Is your desktop resolution higher than the graphics resolution - scrollable?
Vfp then would probably not care which part of the desktop is visible,
but use the full resolution.
Even if that list extends the screen resolution, continue typing and
the items beginning with what you typed will scroll up (or down).
_screen.h
=>HalfHeightCaption
_screen.hw
=>HWnd
Bye, Olaf.

| HU? Desktop vs. graphic resolution? I don't get that. I'm running
1024X768. I did notice if I put the code window full screen
intellisense works but when the code windows is a window like I
generally use it the intellisense list extends outside the window and
off the screen in many cases.

Some graphic cards/ drivers let you do this.
1024x768 graphics resolution, 1600x1200 desktop resolution,
1024x768 of the desktop being displayed. If the mouse reaches
the monitor edge the driver scrolls the desktop graphics.
As you don't seem to know such a thing, this most probably isn't
the problem...
Even if I resize the vfp main window_screen to half the desktop and
pull out the command window to the other half of the desktop I don't
get the effect, that the intellisense listbox overlaps the monitor edges.
It may not stay within the _screen, but within the screen/monitor.
Bye, Olaf.
